    Exploding Kittens has a surprising amount of heart for a show about a cat who thinks he’s God because, well, he is God.

    “Exploding Kittens” really is sort of charming. .... It’s corny as … hell, but it’s genuine corn. You might let your kids watch, depending, of course, on your kids.

    Even though Exploding Kittens struggles to establish a consistent identity in its first season, it shakes off its growing pains, becoming the wickedly funny and frequently shocking comedy it’s meant to be.

    The writers pack in plenty of quick-witted jokes with the right amount of pop culture references—needling stars like Timothee Chalamet or Steven Spielberg—alongside some creative and hilarious cat-based jests. Story and character-wise, however, Exploding Kittens doesn’t deliver anything out of the ordinary. It’s watchable and decent enough but never really manages to stand out in a major way.
